How to Use Long Tail Keywords for Affiliate Marketing SEO Websites
To optimize your website for long-tail keywords, you have to develop a network of contextual content that links to your cornerstone content. For example, a digital marketing company could write articles on branding and include internal links to its service page. The more connections your site has, the more sense it makes to Google's algorithms. Ranking high on Google is not an easy task, and it will take some work. But it is possible to use long-tail keywords in your website to boost your rankings.
Find long-tail keywords on Quora
If you want to increase the number of website views and traffic to your affiliate marketing SEO website, you need to start by generating more relevant content. The best place to start is by searching for long-tail keywords on Google. Alternatively, you can also visit a Q&A website such as Quora to learn more about what people are asking. There, you can see which questions have been asked previously and which ones are related to the topic you are trying to market.
Another great way to find long-tail keywords is by visiting forums. Look for questions that are related to your niche and use the search function to find posts with seed keywords. You can also try analyzing forum posts in order to vet your long-tail keyword ideas. Long-tail keywords can be sourced from competitor websites, too. If you look at the top posts on Quora, you'll see which topics get the most attention.
Add internal links to product pages
How to add internal links to product pages on an affiliate marketing SEO website? One of the most effective ways to build links is to create clusters of pages within your site. These clusters can be useful for improving your site's usability, making it easier for visitors to find content. To build internal links, you can use nofollow links on specific pages, such as login pages. Using the Lasso display to promote links is a great way to promote affiliate links and send signals to Google about them.
A good post will be a great starting point for internal links. Your articles will be more authoritative and your PageRank will increase if have inbound links. Look for abandoned pages on your affiliate marketing SEO website. You'll likely find tons of technical articles or plugins. Export the pages and open them in excel. You can also make use of a tool to extract pages with no hyperlinks.
Find topical long-tail keywords
Aside from utilizing short and long-tail keywords, it is also important to use research methods to discover keyword variations and related words. One of the best methods to conduct keyword research is the Ultimate Keyword Research Guide, which will assist you in choosing relevant keywords. You can also write articles and FAQs with long-tail keywords that reflect user intent. Before you begin creating articles, research your competition to find the most popular topics and content. Look for keywords that reflect the length of articles on their websites and what types of content they are using.
To find topical long-tail keywords, you can go to the Quora website and search for relevant questions. You can then use these inquiries as long-tail keywords. Another method is to use popular forums and message boards to find questions and phrases people ask. You can even borrow similar phrases from other websites that answer related questions. These methods are extremely helpful to optimize affiliate marketing SEO websites. They will increase traffic and sales and give you an edge over the competition.
Focus on 'weird' long-tail keywords
One of the most overlooked aspects of affiliate marketing is the importance of targeting long-tail keywords. Although long-tail keywords tend to have low search volume, they have a high conversion rate. Many people search for products and services based on broad terms, but not all of these terms are long-tail. Aside from niche markets, long-tail keywords can also represent unique topics and are easier to rank for.
To increase the chances of ranking high for long-tail keywords, you need to understand what a "long-tail" keyword is. Long-tail keywords are comprised of multiple words that address specific topics. In other words, these terms have less competition compared to broad topics. These long-tail keywords are easier to find on search engines, and they also cost less to bid on in Google Ads.

Harbaugh parents plan to avoid fueding, remain neutral for Super Bowl
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Jackie Harbaugh will wear a neutral-colored outfit, still to be determined. Her daughter, Joani Crean, little sister to coaching brothers John and Jim Harbaugh, plans to sport all black at the Super Bowl to show no allegiances whatsoever.
"I am wearing whatever fits that day," Crean quipped.
The entire Harbaugh family - a close-knit, hyper-competitive crew that also includes Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean - realizes it has already won big. They got their Super Bowl victory on Sunday, when each coach did his part to ensure a family reunion in New Orleans next week, with John's Baltimore Ravens facing off against Jim's San Francisco 49ers in the first Super Bowl with sibling coaches on opposite sidelines.
One Harbaugh will haul home the Lombardi Trophy from the Big Easy.
And, no, the family members haven't decided where to sit for the Feb. 3 NFL title game at the Superdome - or at least they aren't revealing it if they have.
"We are neutral in the Super Bowl, and we are just excited that they have brought their teams to the pinnacle of sports," Jackie Harbaugh said Thursday. "The Super Bowl is the ultimate accomplishment for them and for their teams and for all of the extended football family and all of the teams who have participated in this great game. We are excited for that type of thing."
Her sons, all of 15 months apart, have tried to downplay this matchup from the moment it developed - each wanting to keep the focus on the players, on the field.
The Harbaughs have been inundated with well wishes and media requests since the moment John's Ravens beat New England on Sunday night a few hours after the 49ers won at Atlanta. This matchup provides the storyline of storylines, one that will compete with Ravens star Ray Lewis' last hurrah before retirement and the emergence of second-year San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick (in a savvy move, he had pizza delivered to the overcrowded press trailer Thursday).
Fortunately for the Harbaugh folks, they've been through this once before - albeit on a slightly smaller stage: prime time on Thanksgiving night 2011. John's Ravens won 16-6 at home.
"We experienced that last year at Thanksgiving," Jack Harbaugh said, "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat."
Jack visited each locker room after that game and observed the "smile on John's face," then headed over to see how Jim was handling it.
"It was quiet and somber, and finally I saw Jim, all by himself, no one around him," Jack said. "He still had his coaching thing on, and his hands on his head, and we realized that that is where we were needed. . And we know we are going to experience that next week."
For Jackie Harbaugh, who has held things together for decades and is known to offer up a sports cliche or two herself, the real celebration began last weekend.
"I felt that was a joyful moment for them, for our whole family, our extended family and for my father, who is 97 years old," she said. "Great feeling of joy. I am going to be neutral in the game, and I know one is going to win and one is going to lose, but I would really like to end in a tie. Can the NFL do that?"
If only it could finish that way.
And don't count on Jack doing any in-game analysis, or to start guessing which team might have the edge in any given phase.
"I'm only neutral on that," he said. "I don't look for body language. I am not really a coach anymore. I am a spectator and a parent. When I had the chance to watch over the weekend, all of those parents of those players that were competing and the thrill of watching their youngsters compete at that level, all of the coaches involved, their careers, how they all started out in high school and college, and now they are in the NFL and competing for this ultimate prize. I think more as a parent now than I do as a coach, and I don't really get involved in those other things."
Unless one of his kids tries to pull a fast one, that is.
John Harbaugh produced a little prank of his own during his parents' NFL-organized conference call Thursday morning.
"John in Baltimore," the moderator said, announcing the next person up for a turn to ask a question.
"Is it true that both of you like Jim better than John?" John chirped, before getting figured out fast by his sister.
Jackie had begun speaking with, "We do not."
"Hey, John, how are you?" Joani replied.
"Is that John?" Jackie asked.
After a quick greeting, he was off to practice.
"Love you both, love you Joani," John said.
Back to game-planning. And 3,000 miles away on a rainy day in the Bay Area, Jim, too, was busy gearing up.
And, for everybody getting a kick out of those catchy "Harbowl" and "Superbaugh" nicknames for the game, the parents ask that it be kept simple and authentic.
"Jack Harbaugh here, I prefer it to be called the Lombardi Trophy winner," he said.
Added his wife, "I prefer it to be called the Super Bowl."
San Francisco safety Donte Whitner is prepared for all the back and forth of the Harbaugh family affair for another week.
"Oh, man, I know that they're very proud, I know that either way they're going to feel for the one that loses and they're going to be happy for the other," Whitner said. "But at the end of the day, they're all family, and you bring a Super Bowl ring back to the family."

Police: Suspect in NC triple homicide kills himself
HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. -- A man shot and killed his estranged wife and her parents here Wednesday, setting off a nearly three-hour manhunt before he was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The Henderson County, N.C., Sheriff's Office responded to a call of multiple victims down and shots fired at 5:30 p.m. Carrie Tracy Warren, 30, Theresa Russell Tracy, 49, and Richard Allen Tracy, 51, were found dead in the driveway and yard of a home at 297 Piney Ridge Drive, according to the Henderson County Sheriff's Office.
Witnesses gave police a description of the shooter and his vehicle. Ralph Robert Warren III, 32, who was facing misdemeanor charges of harassment and making threats from February, was considered armed and dangerous as officers raced to shut down roads and secure a perimeter in search of him.
Neighbors told police that he fled the scene in a silver, black-top convertible. His car was found in a field across from the intersection of Jackson and Howard Gap roads, not far from Fletcher Community Park. His body was found nearly 100 yards away.
Eighty-four-year-old Mae Franklin, who lives at 255 Piney Ridge Drive, said a car pulled up a couple of homes above hers.
"The people were out in the yard — a man and his wife and their daughter, and it was a sports car. He pulled up and got out and bang, bang, bang. He said, 'Do you want some more?' and he shot three or four more times," she said.
Franklin said children were inside the home at the time. A neighbor went into the home and got the children out, she said.
"I was standing on my porch when they shot," she added. Franklin didn't have a clear view of the shooting because of some shrubbery, but after the shots were fired, neighbors ran to the scene of the violence. Franklin saw the body of a young woman near the road.
Access to the Piney Ridge Drive neighborhood was blocked for a few hours as officers worked to secure and investigate the crime scene.
Police issued a "Be on the lookout" alert for the suspect and warned that the driver might be armed. At about 6:05 p.m., officers had found Warren's car and hustled to secure a perimeter.
Dispatch told officers that a witness saw a man get out of the vehicle carrying a long gun and run across a field. Roads around Asheville Highway, including stretches of Brickyard Road and Howard Gap from Jackson to Old Hendersonville roads, were blocked as deputies, armed with assault rifles, staked out a perimeter and canvassed the area.
"We had to lock down everything," said Maj. Frank Stout.
Officers were told to take cover minutes before 8 p.m. Shortly afterward, an officer along Howard Gap Road said "the threat has been neutralized. Four people lost their lives today, and one was the killer."
Warren was arrested and charged May 3 with failing to appear in court. He was set to appear in court June 4 for charges lodged in February of making harassing calls, communicating threats and failure to appear on a misdemeanor charge.
He was also scheduled to be in court May 30 on a charge of failure to appear.
Children lose mother, father, grandparents
"The biggest losers in this whole situation are the kids," said Jason Lancaster, who knew Robert Warren from high school.
He said his heart broke for Robert Warren's children when he heard the news. They lost their mother, their father and their grandparents in one day, he added.
A Facebook page for Robert Warren III of Hendersonville features guns and says Warren graduated from North Henderson High in 2001 and attended AB Tech. In January, Warren's cover photos were an assault weapon and a woman holding an assault weapon. His most recent cover photo posted May 2 is a close-up of his face. One of his "likes" was for Noveske Rifleworks, a company in Oregon that sells rifles.
His page did not mention employment, but Stout confirmed that Warren at one time worked at Eaton Corp.
"There have been issues, I can tell you, at Eaton, but as to specifics to what has happened, I don't know," Stout said.
"I really appreciate the cooperation of the families in the neighborhood," Sheriff Charles McDonald said. "I appreciate the support of the community while we took care of business. We didn't want to let folks back in until we knew there was no longer a threat in the area."
Other responding agencies included the Fletcher Police Department, N.C. Highway Patrol, Hendersonville Police Department, State Bureau of Investigation, Fletcher Fire & Rescue and Mountain Home Fire & Rescue.
The Transylvania County Sheriff's Office and McDowell County Sheriff's Office were ready to assist if called.

A new report from market research company Forrester says that it's time for companies to embrace the latest Web standards and start building richer Web experiences that take advantage of the capabilities that are supported by modern Web browsers. The report highlights changing trends in browser adoption and talks about how companies are taking advantage of new functionality.
A key issue addressed in the report is the growing market penetration of HTML5-enabled Web browsers. Citing recent browser marketshare statistics, Forrester says that nearly 75 percent of users in North America and 83 percent in Europe are running browsers that support a large segment of the HTML5 feature set. Forrester says that the penetration of HTML5-compatible browsers grew from 57 percent to 75 percent between the second quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2012.
Alongside that tremendous growth in modern browser adoption among end users, the pace of innovation has also increased. New standards are being drafted, maturing, and gaining adoption much faster than in the past. Browser vendors are adjusting their release management strategies and moving to a more iterative approach to development in order to accommodate these changes.
Forrester's report points out that HTML5 and CSS3 features can be adopted incrementally and integrated into existing websites, which means that the cost of experimenting is low. The report also draws attention to the growing availability of compatibility libraries and polyfills that can simplify adoption of features that aren't yet fully ubiquitous.
In our Web standards coverage here at Ars, we tend to spend a lot of time looking at the latest draft-status standards and cutting-edge features that aren't yet widely supported by browsers. But it's useful to take a step back and look at the breadth of modern Web capabilities introduced over the past few years that are approaching ubiquity and achieving rapid adoption.

Bateman Pl. 15, Odontoglossum Reichenheimii
Original Antique Print
21 7/8" x 15 1/4" (approximate)
Hand-colored lithograph
A Monograph of Odontoglossum
Born a nobleman at Redivals, Bury, England, James Bateman (1811—1897) wrote extensively on the subject of orchids and became one of the early developers of orchid culture. He is particularly known for his significant contributions to orchid botany and his lectures on the subject greatly increased the plant's popularity in England. Encouraged by his father to pursue his interest in horticulture, as a young man of 23 he hired a botanical collector to go to Guyana in search of orchids and later sponsored expeditions to Mexico and South America that enabled collectors to gather rare specimens. He pioneered "cool orchid cultivation" a process that allowed the Odontoglossum to be cultivated in England, duplicating the cool arid climate of the cloud forests in Central and South America where these exotic flowers are found.
Bateman published three noted works on the subject of orchids, employing celebrated artists to illustrate the plants. He enlisted the most prolific botanical artist of all time, Walter Hood Fitch (1817—1892), to create the paintings for his magnificent orchid book, A Monograph of Odontoglossum. Fitch also rendered the images on the lithographic stones and his name or initials are found on every hand-colored plate.
It is thought that not more than 300 copies were produced. Exceedingly rare, A Monograph of Odontoglossum, 1864—1874, is comprised of thirty large scale hand-colored lithographs. The plates offered here are all superb examples; their condition is excellent, the hand coloring perfectly preserved in its original state.
Every antique work of art that you purchase at our gallery or on our website is guaranteed to be authentic and of the finest quality. All of our prints include any conservation work required to assure that your acquisition is archivally stable and will last for generations when cared for properly.

MMC honors workers, EMS
Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge held a celebratory picnic on the top level of its parking deck recently as a way to say "thanks" to employees, physicians, volunteers and EMS personnel.
The annual event coincided with National Nurses and Hospital Weeks, according to a hospital news release. The hospital's "Picnic on the Parking Deck" featured a full cookout, a variety of games, and music. Whether it was on the parking deck or in the Secret City Café, all shifts — including evening and midnight staffs — had an opportunity to enjoy the picnic meal.
"It's vitally important to take time to celebrate and recognize those individuals who wake up every day to make a difference in the lives of others," Mike Belbeck, MMC president and chief administrative officer, stated in the news release. "They all put forth such a tremendous effort to make sure our patients and guests are given excellent care and service.
" I feel incredibly privileged to work alongside these professionals," Belbeck said.
In addition to the annual celebrations such as the picnic and end-of-the-year holiday event, known affectionately as "Turkey Day," Methodist focuses on employee reward and recognition consistently throughout the year. For years, the hospital has honored employees through service award events and employee of the month celebrations. More recently, programs available through the hospital's system affiliation with Covenant Health have added opportunities to salute individual employee excellence through nomination-generated awards and on-the-spot recognition.
Nurses honored
Additionally, in conjunction with National Nurses Week, Methodist celebrated the dedication, commitment and service of its nursing staff. This year, 15 registered nurses were recognized for their clinical excellence by the Regional Cooperative for Professional Nurses' Week (RCPNW). Methodist's nominees were: Colleen Aylward, 5-West/Pulmonary; Laura Daugherty, Radiation Oncology; Debbie Grinder, GI Lab; Betsey Hill, 2-West/Medical-Surgical; Virgie Jessie, Joint Replacement Center; Peggy Mills, 3-West/Cardiology; Kristi Needham, Case Management; Beth Seigler, Emergency Department; Tracy Smaron, 4-West/Oncology; Lynne Smith, Critical Care; Lonnie Sylvia, Surgery; Debbie Tackett, Same Day Services; Mary Walker, Recovery; Megan Whaley, Family Birthing Center; Dana Wild, Cardiac Cath Lab.
These nurses were carefully chosen by their co-workers and joined nurses from hospitals throughout East Tennessee to receive recognition for their dedication to professional nursing. These nominations focused on criteria such as clinical expertise, overall teamwork between doctors, nurses, and staff, excellent customer service, and professional conduct and appearance.
"We are proud of the wonderful nursing care we give at Methodist and are pleased to show the region our best," said Sue Harris, MMC vice president and chief nursing officer.
"Nurses touch lives every single day and not one patient leaves this hospital without encountering a nurse's support," Harris said. "Nurses have the opportunity to heal the heart, mind, soul and body of our patients, their families and ourselves. For their dedication, I say thank you."

U.S. defends $1.9B deal with British banking giant
NEW YORK — American authorities on Tuesday cited "astonishing" dysfunction at the British bank HSBC and said that it had helped Mexican drug traffickers, Iran, Libya and others under U.S. suspicion or sanction to move money around the world.
HSBC agreed to pay $1.9 billion, the largest penalty ever imposed on a bank.
The U.S. stopped short of charging executives, citing the bank's immediate, full cooperation and the damage that an assault on the company might cause on economies and people, including thousands who would lose jobs if the bank collapsed.
Outside experts said it was evidence that a doctrine of "too big to fail," or at least "too big to prosecute," was alive and well four years after the financial crisis.
The settlement avoided a legal battle that could have further savaged the bank's reputation and undermined confidence in the banking system. HSBC does business in almost 80 countries, so many that it calls itself "the world's local bank."
Lanny A. Breuer, assistant attorney general of the Justice Department's criminal division, cited a "stunning, stunning failure" by the bank to monitor itself. He said that it enabled countries subject to U.S. sanction — Cuba, Iran, Libya, Myanmar and Sudan — to move about $660 million in prohibited transactions through U.S. financial institutions, including HSBC, from the mid-1990s through September 2006.
Officials noted that HSBC officers in the United States had warned counterparts at the parent company that efforts to hide where financial transactions originated would expose the bank to sanctions, but the protests were ignored.
HSBC even instructed an Iranian bank in one instance how to format messages so that its financial transactions would not be blocked, Breuer said at a news conference announcing the settlement.
"The record of dysfunction that prevailed at HSBC for many years is simply astonishing," Breuer said.
For the government not to go a step further and prosecute was "beyond obscene," said Bill Black, a former U.S. regulator for the Office of Thrift Supervision who now teaches at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
"Regulators are telling us, 'Yes, they're felons, they're massive felons, they did it for years, they lied to us, and they made a lot of money … and they got caught red-handed and they're gonna walk.'"
Black disputed the government's concern that indicting HSBC could take down the financial system.
"That's the logic that we get stability by leaving felons in charge of our largest banks," he said. "This is insane."
Breuer defended the government's agreement with HSBC. He said that U.S. employees in particular seemed duped by criminal enterprises taking advantage of HSBC oversight policies that over decades became increasingly lax.
Court documents showed that the bank let over $200 trillion between 2006 and 2009 slip through relatively unmonitored, including more than $670 billion in wire transfers from HSBC Mexico, making it a favorite of drug cartels and money launderers. HSBC Bank USA at the time rated Mexico in its lowest risk category.
Top executives who felt "the pressure of the bottom line" continually cut staff that might have discovered how criminal enterprises were taking advantage of the bank, Breuer said.
Officials noted that the deal for the first time resulted in U.S. court supervision of a foreign banking institution and lengthy monitoring of a radically changed bank that had changed all its top management.
Before the government stepped in, HSBC used only one or two compliance officers to monitor its banknotes business — the wholesale buying and selling of bulk cash around the world — even though the business is highly vulnerable to money launderers.
Despite the high risk, discrepancies and suspicious activity in banknotes transactions were not reported from July 2006 to July 2009, when the banks' compliance staffing was at its worst.
In March 2008, when 13,000 to 15,000 suspicious wire alerts were generated per month by such transactions, only four employees were around to review them, according to court papers. HSBC Bank USA now has 430 employees reviewing suspicious wire alerts.
"I think it's a disservice to suggest that anyone's getting a pass here," Breuer said.
Asked repeatedly why no bank executives were being prosecuted, Breuer said, "I'm not here to defend HSBC." Yet, he added: "Our goal is not to bring HSBC down."
He said to do so would affect the economy and cost thousands of people their jobs. He said no criminal charges would be brought unless it could be proved that executives purposely tried to let criminal organizations launder money.
Other officials noted that some of what was going on may have violated U.S. laws but not the laws of Britain or other nations where HSBC employees were carrying out their work.
The bank's CEO, Stuart Gulliver, said that it accepted responsibility for its mistakes and was "profoundly sorry." He added: "The HSBC of today is a fundamentally different organization from the one that made those mistakes."
U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch in Brooklyn said the bank's "blatant failure" to implement proper anti-money laundering controls permitted drug organizations in Mexico to launder at least $881 million in drug proceeds through the U.S. financial system. Court documents show that HSBC expanded its banking links with Mexico in 2002 when it acquired Mexico's fifth-largest bank with approximately 1,400 branches and 6 million customers. According to the documents, HSBC's head of compliance acknowledged at the time that what became HSBC Mexico had "no recognizable compliance or money laundering function … at present."
Besides forfeiting $1.25 billion in its deal with the government, HSBC also agreed to pay $665 million in civil penalties, including $500 million to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and $165 million to the Federal Reserve. The U.S. said the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority was pursuing a separate action.
It was not the first time that the bank has gotten in trouble with American authorities. In July, a Senate subcommittee on investigations criticized HSBC for lax controls that allowed money laundering.
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., accused the bank of "playing fast and loose with U.S. banking rules."
In the middle of the hearing, HSBC's head of group compliance, David Bagley, acknowledged "some significant areas of failure" in the bank's compliance, then broke from his prepared testimony to resign.
At the same Senate hearing, the head of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Thomas Curry, found fault with his own agency. It "could have and should have" addressed problems at the bank sooner, he said.
Money laundering by banks has become a target for U.S. law enforcement. Since 2009, Credit Suisse, Barclays, Lloyds and ING have all paid big settlements related to allegations that they moved money for people or companies under U.S. sanction.
The money-laundering affair is the latest scandal to strike the banks since the 2008 financial crisis.
Standard Chartered PLC, another British bank, signed an agreement with New York regulators on Monday to settle a money-laundering investigation involving Iran with a $340 million payment.
HSBC should easily be able to absorb the $1.9 billion penalty issued this week. It turned a profit of $17 billion last year alone.
John Martin, the director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said the settlement resulted from a five-year investigation that included the study of 9 million documents.
"Money is what makes the world of organized crime go around," he said. "HSBC got into a bad place."
Gulliver assumed the CEO job Jan. 1, 2011, but has been at the company since 1980. In late 2010, when Gulliver was preparing to take the CEO job, the bank shook up top management.
"After the financial crisis, I believe customers are thinking more carefully about who they trust with their wealth and savings," Gulliver said in a statement at the time.

The United Kingdom has been re-organizing its local government for the past 20 years or so, making the county (and county-equivalent) situation here quite a jumbled mess. Here, the following scheme is used:
This gives us a total of 185 second-level administrative units for the United Kingdom. It's a somewhat motely menagerie of different animals, but it's the best we can do given the evolving changes.
Another possible list is based on the historic counties or "lieutenancies", which eliminates many of the smaller metropolitan boroughs and unitary authorities. But that list has almost zero governmental reality behind it. So this list, despite its shortcomings, at least has real administrative machinery behind it.

How To Stencil
Stenciling is a fast, easy, and inexpensive way to customize and update any surface in your house with paint, including walls, floors, ceilings, furniture, and fabric. Stenciling is generally done using either stencil brushes or stencil rollers. You can stencil with craft acrylic paints, latex wall paint, or our specially designed Royal Stencil Creme paints. The key to successful stencil projects is to use a "dry" brush or roller that has been offloaded to remove the excess paint that can seep under the stencil. Are you ready to try stenciling?
We have created a series of How to Stencil tutorials here that guide you through the basic stenciling techniques with Royal Design Studio stencils.

Sports update: Masahiro Tanaka understands Yanks' win-or-else mentality
NEW YORK — Masahiro Tanaka was introduced by the Yankees on Tuesday after chartering a Boeing 787 Dreamliner for his trip from Tokyo to New York.
The 25-year-old right-hander agreed Jan. 22 to a $155 million, seven-year contract and stopped in New York for a news conference at Yankee Stadium en route to the team's spring training complex in Tampa, Fla., where workouts start this weekend.
Tanaka put on his No. 19 jersey and, speaking in English, said "I'm very happy to be a Yankee."
Tanaka charted the Japan Airlines plane, which seats about 200, at what was reported to be a cost of about $200,000 for a flight said to include five passengers and his poodle Haru.
New York held the news conference in its Legends Suite Club rather than its regular press conference room adjacent to the clubhouse. Yankees spokesman Jason Zillo said it was the team's most-attended news conference since Hideki Matsui was introduced before the 2003 season.
Tanaka was 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA last year, leading the Rakuten Golden Eagles to the Japan Series title.
He said his first meal in New York was sushi from a grocery store.
Tanaka spoke with Matsui and understands the Yankees' win-or-else mentality.
"I've heard that this place can be very harsh to you at times," he said through a translator. "I just wanted to put myself in this environment and see where I could get to with my ability."

New updates below, including the new BCS ranking and the new AP poll.
K-State's utterly amazing win over Texas was so invigorating in its impact on tilting the BCS – particularly when combined with the rest of the results of the day – that I was up half the night thinking about it.
Here's what we know: The winner of Ohio St-Michigan is in the BCS title game. The rest? Oh boy...
Well, here's who is OUT, thanks to losses this week:
(Please don't tell me that college football doesn't have a playoff system. As I've argued for years, the entire regular season is a virtual "double-elimination" playoff: Lose once and you're in trouble; lose twice and you're out.)
Here are the six teams who are STILL in the BCS title-game conversation:
Need to: Hope that ending a season on 11/18 doesn't cede momentum to the one-loss team that plays more games through 12/02.
Pros: The perception that the OSU-Mich loser is that much better than the No. 3 team; popular (read: human poll) interest in a rematch.
Need to: Win out
Make-or-break: SEC title game; at
Pros: BCS ranking; no more Texas
Cons: Have you watched them play? Ugh.
Wild Card:
Need to: Win out; USC to lose
Make-or-break: at LSU, SEC title game
Pros: The best team in the SEC.
Cons: Blown out by USC in Week 1
Wild Card: USC must lose again.
Need to: Win out
Make-or-break: Cal, Notre Dame, UCLA
Pros: Strong SOS to finish season.
Cons: Loss was to unranked team
Wild Card: How can you vault them ahead of any of the other 1-loss teams, who lost to teams that were actually ranked?
Need to: Win out
Make-or-break: At USC
Pros: Popularity
Cons: Blowout loss to
Wild Card: How can you vault them ahead of OSU-Michigan loser?
Need to: Win out
Make-or-break: at
Pros: Cinderella story of the decade.
Cons: Strength of schedule
Needless to say, each of the Survivor Six is hoping for the rest to collect losses. Notre Dame plays at USC, so one of those teams will be KO'ed automatically. Rutgers has to win at
So it essentially becomes FOUR teams with a shot:
(1) OSU-Mich loser
(2) SEC champ (presuming only 1 loss)
(3) USC-ND winner (presuming only 1 loss)
(4) Rutgers (presuming unbeaten)
The upshot? While the rest of these contenders with multiple games to play put themselves in position to lose, the Ohio St-Michigan loser can sit back and watch, knowing they don't have to play a tough game -- or any game -- again.
That's the OSU-Mich loser's biggest advantage – but also its biggest disadvantage: If any of the other 5 run the table -- while the OSU-Mich loser sits idle -- a compelling case can be made to put those teams ahead of the OSU-Michigan loser.
But, as we saw yesterday, that's a huge "if."
-- D.S.Update (1:58 p.m.): AP Top 25 just released, though it doesn't have anything to do with the BCS formula. Florida's No. 3, so obviously they focused on the noun "win" rather than the adjective "ugly." Arkansas was a HUGE winner, jumping from 11 to 5. (Go back and look at where I had them in my Top 25 LAST week.) USC back in the mix from No. 7 to No. 4, but a ridiculously tough gauntlet to run over the next three weeks (Cal, ND, UCLA). Notre Dame went from 9 to 6 and still has to beat USC. Rutgers earned a big jump of 8 spots, but starting so low to begin with, they still only went from No. 15 to No. 7. I'll have them at No. 4 this week. A quick preview of my Top 5:
1. Ohio St
7. Notre Dame
8. Auburn
10. Louisville
Update (8:41 p.m.): The new BCS came out.
Observation No. 1: Did you notice that Rutgers didn't just jump to No. 6 -- they are ranked SECOND by the computers, AHEAD of Ohio St. That's amazing. That helps offset the egregious No. 8 ranking by the coaches and No. 7 ranking by the Harris poll.
Observation No. 2: Florida, sandwiched between No. 3 USC and No. 5 Notre Dame, is kind of screwed. If USC beats Cal next week, then no matter who wins the USC-Notre Dame game the week after, that team will undoubtedly stay ahead of the Gators. Florida needs USC to lose to Cal next week, then beat Notre Dame the week afterward. Tall orders.
(Someone needs to explain to me how a Notre Dame team with only a single decent win -- GA Tech in the season opener... and NOT impressively -- is No. 5? Have you seen ND's schedule? It's a joke. The one decent team they played -- Michigan -- smoked them.)

You're under no obligation
Dear Dave,
Our son is about to graduate from law school. He took out a loan to cover the cost, but we've always been debt-free and have been paying on it to help him out while he finishes his studies. The balance on the loan right now is around $30,000. He has a job waiting for him after he graduates, so we're thinking about telling him it will be his responsibility to finish paying off the loan at that point. Is that wrong?
Dear Pat,
There's absolutely nothing wrong with a young law school graduate earning a living and paying off his own debt. I hope he appreciates how generous you both have been, but you shouldn't feel as if you're obligated to continue making these payments after he finishes school and begins working.
Now, if you decide to pay it off for him as a gift for successfully completing law school — and you're in a financial position to do so without hurting yourselves or your future — that's fine, too. It would be another incredibly generous act. And in my mind, generosity of that magnitude should be met with gratitude and appreciation of equal measure.
If you choose this route, let him know how and why you were able to give him this gift. Don't hold it over his head or beat him up with it, but stress the importance of being wise with money, saving and investing, and staying out of debt in the future. Let him know if he'll follow your example, he might be able to do the same kind of thing for his kids someday. That would be a wonderful thing to see, wouldn't it?
Used car mileage?
Dear Dave,
I know you advise most people to buy used cars. Do you have a rule of thumb for a mileage limit when it comes to buying a used vehicle?
Dear Paul,
No, not really. Sometimes mileage alone can be a good indicator of the quality of a used vehicle, but that's not always the case. I would also advise doing a little research, and maybe letting a trusted mechanic have a look to determine if there are any issues that might give you trouble soon.
The more inexpensive, and cheaply made a car is, the more likely it becomes that it would be worn down by higher mileage. Some vehicles start to get a little ragged at 100,000 miles, while others — some of the better makes — are just getting a feel for the road at that point. Of course, a lot depends on your budget, too.
Overall, I would advise you to look for something that has a good reputation, a solid history, and as little mileage as possible. There are good, used cars out there that will last for years!

STOCKHOLM — During a year with a monster storm and scorching heat waves, Americans have experienced the kind of freakish weather that many scientists say will occur more often on a warming planet.
And as a re-elected president talks about global warming again, climate activists are cautiously optimistic that the U.S. will be more than a disinterested bystander when the U.N. climate talks resume Monday with a two-week conference in Qatar.
"I think there will be expectations from countries to hear a new voice from the United States," said Jennifer Morgan, director of the climate and energy program at the World Resources Institute in Washington.
The climate officials and environment ministers meeting in the Qatari capital of Doha will not come up with an answer to the global temperature rise that is already melting Arctic sea ice and permafrost, raising and acidifying the seas, and shifting rainfall patterns, which has an impact on floods and droughts.
They will focus on side issues, like extending the Kyoto protocol — an expiring emissions pact with a dwindling number of members — and ramping up climate financing for poor nations.
They will also try to structure the talks for a new global climate deal that is supposed to be adopted in 2015, a process in which American leadership is considered crucial.
Many were disappointed that Obama didn't put more emphasis on climate change during his first term. He took some steps to rein in emissions of heat-trapping gases, such as sharply increasing fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks. But a climate bill that would have capped U.S. emissions stalled in the Senate.
"We need the U.S. to engage even more," European Union Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard told The Associated Press. "Because that can change the dynamic of the talks."
The world tried to move forward without the U.S. after the Bush Administration abandoned the Kyoto Protocol, a 1997 pact limiting greenhouse emissions from industrialized nations. As that agreement expires this year, the climate curves are still pointing in the wrong direction.
The concentration of heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide has jumped 20 percent since 2000, primarily from the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil, according to a U.N. report released this week. And each year, the gap between what researchers say must be done to reverse this trend, and what's actually being done, gets wider.
Bridging that gap, through clean technology and renewable energy, is not just up to the U.S., but to countries like India and China, whose carbon emissions are growing the fastest as their economies expand.
But Obama raised hopes of a more robust U.S. role in the talks when he called for a national "conversation" on climate change after winning re-election. The issue had been virtually absent in the presidential campaigning until Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast.
The president still faces domestic political constraints, and there's little hope of the U.S. increasing its voluntary pledge in the U.N. talks of cutting emissions by 17 percent by 2020, compared to 2005 levels.
Still, just a signal that Washington has faith in the international process would go a long way, analysts said.
"The perception of many negotiators and countries is that the U.S. is not really interested in increasing action on climate change in general," said Bill Hare, senior scientist at Climate Analytics, a non-profit organization based in Berlin.
For example, Hare said, the U.S. could stop "talking down" the stated goal of the U.N. talks to keep the temperature rise below 2 degrees C (3.6 F) compared to pre-industrial levels.
Todd Stern, the U.S. special envoy on climate change, caused alarm among climate activists in August when he said that "insisting on a structure that would guarantee such a goal will only lead to deadlock." He later clarified that the U.S. still supports the 2-degree target, but favors a more flexible way to reach it than dividing up carbon rights to the atmosphere.
Countries adopted the 2-degree target in 2009, reasoning that a warming world is a dangerous world, with flooding of coastal cities and island nations, disruptions to agriculture and drinking water, and the spread of diseases and the extinction of species.
A recent World Bank report found the world is on track toward 4 degrees C of warming, which would entail "extreme heat-waves, declining global food stocks, loss of ecosystems and biodiversity, and life-threatening sea level rise."
The U.S., alone among industrialized countries, didn't ratify the Kyoto Protocol because it found it unfair that China and other emerging economies, as developing countries, were not covered by any binding emissions targets. The U.S. and other rich countries say that firewall must be removed as the talks enter a new phase aimed at adopting a new climate treaty by 2015 that applies to all countries.
China — now the world's top carbon emitter — wants to keep a clear dividing line between developed and developing countries, noting that historically, the former bear the brunt of the responsibility for man-made climate change.
The issue is unlikely to be resolved in Doha, where talks will focus on extending Kyoto as a stopgap measure while negotiators work on the wider deal, which would take effect in 2020.
The 27-nation EU, Switzerland, Norway and Australia are on board but New Zealand, Canada and Japan don't want to be part of a second commitment period of Kyoto. That means the extended treaty would cover only about 15 percent of global emissions.
Delegates in Doha will also try to finalize the rules of the Green Climate Fund, which is supposed to raise $100 billion a year by 2020. Financed by richer nations, the fund would support poorer nations in converting to cleaner energy sources and in adapting to a shifting climate that may damage people's health, agriculture and economies in general.
In addition, countries need to agree on a work plan to guide the negotiations on a new treaty. Without a timeframe with clear mileposts, there's a risk of a repeat in 2015 of the hyped-up but ultimately disappointing climate summit in Copenhagen in 2009.
"It shows that leaders and also the public in these countries — the U.S. certainly is one of them — don't yet understand the full implications of the costs associated with the path that we're on," said Alden Meyer, of the U.S.-based Union of Concerned Scientists.
Associated Press reporter Karl Ritter authored this report.

Ten Skincare Shopping Tips
by Alexandra Kilpatrick
May is National Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month. According to BeautyWorldNews.com, skin cancer affects more than 2 million Americans each year and more than 3.5 million forms of the disease exist.
With spring in full swing, it's the perfect time to review your skincare routine to ensure protection against sun exposure and aging. Seeing such a wide array of skincare products can overwhelm even the savviest shopper. Luckily, BeautyWorldNews.com offers ten tips for buying skincare products without ruining your budget!
Get screened for free
One of the best ways to prevent and treat skin cancer before it becomes unmanageable is to get screened for the disease. Luckily, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) offers free screenings throughout the country. Use AAD's search tool to check what's available in your area or sign up for e-alerts, so that you're notified when screening opportunities become available near you.
Try flash sites
Flash sale sites like Ideeli are great for deep discounts on designer fashion, shoes and even skincare! Make sure you do your research before taking these offers though, because designer skincare doesn't necessarily mean quality. Ensure that the product works for your skin type before you buy.
Find coupons for savings
Skip the circulars and find coupons online at sites like CouponSherpa.com, which offers several grocery coupons for personal care products like lotions and sunscreens.
Know your sunscreen
It's crucial to look for broad spectrum protection and avoid buying high-priced solutions that claim SPF defense. No sunscreen will protect you 100 percent, but SPF 30 sunscreens offer 97 percent protection against sun exposure, so be sure to stock up on this concentration and reapply every two hours.
Go generic
Moisturizers vary widely in cost by brand. Designer labels can cost hundreds of dollars for only a few ounces of product. Compare the ingredients of name-brand lotions to generic or store-brand versions before you buy. Stores often offer low-priced solutions with nearly identical ingredients to name-brand products.
Double up
Face creams tend to offer SPF protection, so it's not necessary to buy specialized sunscreen for your face. Use tinted moisturizers during the summer to protect your skin, even out your skin tone and moisturizer your skin without spending money on multiple products.
Compare prices
The same exact skincare product can vary widely in cost by retailer. For example, a quick online search shows that Maybelline BB Cream costs $8.99 at Ulta Beauty and only $5.39 at Target. Do your research before buying to make sure you're paying less for your skincare products.
Use free samples
Ulta and Sephora both offer free samples with all their purchases. Before you buy a new perfume or eyeliner, peruse the selection of skincare items. This way, you can "try before you buy" as well as use samples during travel to moisturize your skin on the go.
Exercise portion control
You don't need to use half the bottle of lotion or sunscreen to effectively hydrate and protect the skin. Use sunscreen as directed, applying only a nickel-sized dollop to your face and about two tablespoons to the other exposed areas of the body. Sunscreens containing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide can often make your skin appear white until fully absorbed, so don't mistake the paler hue as over-application.
Stock up during sale time
Drugstores and beauty stores sometimes offer sales and promotions on skincare products like sunscreen. Make sure to stock up on sunscreen during sale time. Sunscreen has a shelf life of three years when stored properly, in a cool, dark place like the bathroom cabinet.
If you or someone you know would like to learn more about skincare, please feel free to schedule a consultation or contact one of our representatives today!
